VARNISI-I-DRYING HOLDER FOR HEDDLES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 28,1912.

Application filed October 19, 1909. Serial No. 523,503.

of Regents Park, London, N. W., England, have invented a new and useful Improve-c ment in Var11isl1-Drying Holders for Heddles, of which the following is a speoification.

The object of this invention is to provide a holder which may removably support a plurality of heddles in proper position for permitting the heddles to dry after they have been varnished.

A further object is to provide a holder of this character which may be instantly attached to and removed from engagement with the conveyer chains used for carrying the holder into and out of a varnish drying apparatus.

A practical embodiment of this invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents the holder in top plan in connection with the chains of a conveyer,

portions of the holder being broken away. Fig. 2 is a detail side view partially insection of the holder, a portion ofone of the conveyer chains being shown in connection therewith, and Fig. 3 is a detail end view partially in section of the holder showing it in connection with its two side conveyer chains.

The holder comprises top and bottom cross rods 1 and 2, the top rod being provided with brackets 3, 4, and the bottom rod with brackets 5, 6. The brackets 3, 5, are connected by a vertical rod 7 and the brackets 4, 6, by a vertical rod 8. The upper brackets 3, 4, are provided with horizontally arranged recessed bars 9, 10, arranged to removably support the ends of cross bars 11 over which the tops of the heddles 12 are passed. The lower brackets 5, 6, are provided with horizontally arranged side bars 13, 14, carrying a horizontal series of cross rods 15. The lower ends of the heddles 12 pass around cross bars 16 which are drawn downwardly for keeping the-heddles taut, by spring tension hooks 17 carried by the cross rods 15.

The heddle holder is removably engaged This cross rod 1 is yieldingly held with one of its ends in a socket 22 of the socket piece 20 by a spring pressed plunger 23 in the socket piece 21, the spring 24: of which plunger is located in a recess 25 in the said socket piece 21. To release the holder, the

top cross rod is moved endwise a sufficient distance to withdraw its end from the socket 22 by forcing the spring pressed plunger 23 along its recess 25 against the tension of its spring 2 1.

It will be seen that a holder constructed as hereinabove set forth, will removably support the heddles with their cords in a separated condition so as to permit the same to readily dry after they have been varnished. It will also be seen that the heddles may be readily applied to and removed from the holder.

What I claim is 1. A varnish drying holder for heddles comprising top and bottom horizontally arranged side bars, cross bars extending between the top side bars for hanging the beddles thereon and yielding means arranged above and carried by the bottom sidebars for drawing the heddles taut to separate the individual heddle cords for permitting a more ready drying of the same.

2. A varnish drying holder for heddles comprising top and bottom horizontally arranged side bars, cross bars removably supported by the top side bars for hangingthe heddles thereon and yielding means arranged above andcarried by the bottom side bars for drawing the heddles taut to separate the individual heddle cords for per mitting a more ready dryin of the same.

3. A varnish drying holder for heddles comprising top and bottom horizontally arranged side bars, cross bars removably supported by the top side bars forhanging the heddles thereon, cross rods carried by the bottom side bars, cross bars carried by the heddles and spring tension hooks carried by the bottom cross rods arranged to engage the bottom heddle cross bars for drawing the heddles taut to separate the individual heddle cords for permitting a more ready drying of the same.

1. A varnish drying holder for heddles comprising top and bottom cross rods having top and bottom horizontally arranged side bars, vertical rods connecting the top and bottom cross rods, cross bars removably supported by the top side bars for hanging as my invention, I have signed my name in the heddles thereon and yielding means arpresence of tWo Witnesses this 15th day of ranged above and carried by the bottom side October, 1909.
